• What’s the story behind GlobalMojo?
• What is GlobalMojo?
GlobalMojo is a new browser app (i.e. the thing you download to your browser in 10 seconds) designed for socially conscious and involved web users. The app, appropriately named the Globalmojo Giving Assistant, unlocks a new way for you to generate money for your favorite nonprofit or school simply by browsing the Internet the same way you do every day, and at no cost to you. We do this by redirecting revenue that you’re already generating when you search, browse, and shop online, to the causes you care about. 25% - 50% of our gross revenue goes directly to each user’s selected nonprofits and schools or towards a specific mission, such as planting trees or providing water for a family.
• How does GlobalMojo work?
Did you know there’s a lot of revenue being generated behind the scenes on the Internet? As you browse the web, perform searches, shop, plan vacations, view advertising and many other activities, you are generating revenue that is collected by other companies. The Globalmojo technology is designed to redirect some of that revenue to nonprofits and schools that you select. All revenue GlobalMojo generates comes from Internet companies that pay to reach our users. Unlike most online companies that keep 100% of the revenue you generate, we redirect 50% of revenues directly to nonprofits and schools of your choice.
• How much will Global Mojo cost me?
Zip. Zero. GlobalMojo helps you support your favorite nonprofit organizations and/or complete specific charitable tasks (we call these missions) at no cost to you. GlobalMojo is also free for all nonprofit organizations and schools who benefit from your support. All of our revenue comes from Internet companies that pay for the opportunity to reach our users.
• What’s the catch? GlobalMojo sounds too good to be true.
There’s no catch – we’re just tapping into existing Internet technology and redirecting some of the revenue that people are already generating to nonprofits and schools. Each GlobalMojo user determines how the money they generate is spent. After all, it’s the people browsing the Internet who generate the revenue — we think they should have a say in how it is spent.
• Who is behind Global Mojo?
The GlobalMojo team consists of seasoned business entrepreneurs, computer programmers, philanthropists and nonprofit experts who have come together with the common goal of changing “business as usual” on the Internet. We firmly believe that most Internet users, when given the opportunity to make a positive difference simply by doing what they already do every day, will choose to do so. We hope you’ll join us in our effort to improve education and social programs around the world. One person can make a difference; one million people can change the rules of the Internet game — for good.
• How Does GlobalMojo Work?
• How does the GlobalMojo browser generate revenue for the nonprofits and schools I want to support?

All of our revenue comes from online companies who pay to reach our users. This is exactly the same way that most online companies generate revenue (Yahoo, Google, Expedia, CNN, Amazon, Shopping.com, etc). It works like this:

Online businesses need customers to stay in business.

Those businesses will pay third parties like GlobalMojo to help them reach new customers.

When one of our users decides to search, plan a vacation or shop with one of our partners, they pay GlobalMojo a sales commission for helping them find a new customer.

The GlobalMojo difference is that unlike most companies that keep 100% of that commission revenue, we donate 25% to 50% directly to nonprofits and schools chosen by our users.

• How much of the revenue I generate goes to my nonprofit?
We donate 25% to 50% of the gross revenue earned by GlobalMojo users to the nonprofits or charities of their choice. Each user starts with a 25% donation impact, and for each friend they invite who joins, their giving impact will increase 5%. Learn more here. We use the remaining 50% to maintain cutting edge technology for our users, pay our staff, keep the lights on and maybe even turn a little profit at some point.
• How much money can GlobalMojo generate for my nonprofit or school?
It’s depends on each individual user and how they choose to use GlobalMojo. We conservatively estimate that a nonprofit should generate about $10-$30 per year for each supporter who uses GlobalMojo. For example, a school with 500 parents who use GlobalMojo could generate an additional $15,000 a year just from those parents’ regular web browsing. This amount will increase over time, as GlobalMojo optimizes relationships with our current partners (search, travel, shopping, advertising) and brings on new partner and services.
• What kind of organizations does GlobalMojo help?
GlobalMojo supports all registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofits and schools. In order to be eligible, your organization or school must be a registered nonprofit with the IRS or the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). This includes charities, schools, hospitals, health clinics, churches and religious organizations, volunteer services, political organizations, professional associations, governmental organizations, veterans assistance associations, etc who are registered as a 501 (c)(3) through the US Internal Revenue Service. We currently work with U.S. registered nonprofits and ultimately will spread the Mojo globally.
• Where does GlobalMojo get its list of nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, etc?

GlobalMojo is pleased to have over 1.5 million nonprofits and schools in our database provided by our partners, GuideStar and the National Center for Education Statistics. GuideStar is the industry leader in collecting information about nonprofit organizations, which it obtains through annual IRS tax filings and through its interaction with thousands of organizations every year. GuideStar's database includes almost every registered 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, but may not include some of the most recently registered organizations.

GlobalMojo is also pleased to use data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Located within the U.S. Department of Education and the Institute of Education Sciences, NCES is the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education.

With our comprehensive database and our strong partner alliances, you can feel confident that the school or nonprofit that you choose is a valid organization approved by the IRS.

• How can I see how much revenue I’m generating for my nonprofit or school?
You can monitor how much revenue you’ve personally generated for your favorite causes by signing into your Globalmojo account and visiting the Free Giving Playground.
• Do all Internet purchases generate revenue for my nonprofit or school?
All purchases made using GlobalMojo’s features and services will generate revenue for your nonprofits and schools. We’ll show you exactly which features generate revenue, and you decide if and how much you want to use them. The amount of revenue you generate is entirely up to you.
• What’s the difference between a mission and a cause?
We use the term “cause” to refer to the 1.5 million nonprofits, charities, churches and schools that you can select to support. We also offer our users the opportunity to earn “MojoPoints” that go toward a particular mission, such as purchasing a bicycle for someone in rural Ghana, or donating a cow to a family.
• What is MoDough?
MoDough is our currency. The revenue you generate online is converted to MoDough and every dollar generated equals 50 MoDough. MoDough can be used to support both causes and missions.
• What is Mojo?
Mojo is our point system. When our users take actions, such as inviting friends to join or completing missions, they earn “mojo”. The more involved a user is, the more Mojo they will earn.
• What is the Free Giving Playground?
The Free Giving Playground is essentially a dashboard that helps you monitor your progress. We’ve enabled some very cool features, such as earning badges, winning trophies, assembling teams, and interacting with friends, to help you achieve your goals faster.

• What if I can’t find my nonprofit or my school on the list?
If your organization is a 501(c)(3) and not in our database, please have them contact guidestar.org to get added to the master database.
• Do I get a tax deduction?
We have researched this issue, and due to the inherent difficulties of complying with current tax laws in each of the 50 states, tax deductions are not available to GlobalMojo users at this time. We will continue to research strategies on how our users can claim tax deductions in the future.
• How do you prevent fraudulent use of GlobalMojo?
GlobalMojo and our partners have extensive fraud protection mechanisms in please. Fraud includes, but is not limited to, click fraud (repeated manual clicks, robots or automated query tools, etc), credit card fraud or any other activity that we deem as malicious in nature. These activities will result in the user being banned from GlobalMojo and their donations being forfeited and donated to the charity of GlobalMojo’s choice.
• How do I make a credit card donation to charity?
We are still building this functionality and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready. When we go live with this function, you will be able to make direct cash donations to the charities of your choice directly from the GlobalMojo site.
• Browser / Add-On Questions
• What is a browser app?
A browser app, sometimes referred to as an add-on, is a common name for an application that you download on top of your Firefox browser.
• Is the GlobalMojo add-on considered an extension or a theme?
Both. The extension portion gives your Firefox browser all the powerful features and functions of the GlobalMojo browser. The theme portion allows you to build your own personal look for your Firefox browser. Both parts can work independently of one another, if you decide you want to use a different Firefox theme or vice-versa.
• What does the GlobalMojo app do for my browser?
First and foremost, while keeping all of the great speed, security and features of your browser, the GlobalMojo app allows you to generate money for your favorite causes just by browsing the web.
• Can I use any browser theme I want to with the GlobalMojo app?
Yes. You can run any theme with the GlobalMojo app and still get all of the great features and social benefit of the GlobalMojo app. PLEASE NOTE: because most themes are built by third-party designers, we can't guarantee that every theme will work with GlobalMojo.
• Questions about Your Account
• Can I have more than one account with GlobalMojo?

• How can I see how much revenue is being generated for my nonprofit or school?
You can monitor how much revenue you’ve personally generated for your nonprofits and schools by signing into GlobalMojo and visiting the Free Giving Playground.
• How do I know the nonprofits are receiving the money?
Transparency is vital to the GlobalMojo mission, and to building trust with our users, nonprofits and school partners. All funds raised are reported on our website, so whenever you want, you can see how much money is being raised and to whom it is going.
• Are there any rules or restrictions?
We have only a few simple rules:

Only one GlobalMojo account per user: Each GlobalMojo user can sign up only once and create an account only for himself or herself. A user or organization may not establish an account on behalf of anyone else. User accounts are not transferable and must be for a physical person.

Only active users count: To generate money for the cause(s) you've chosen to support, you need to be an "active" user. Simply put, you need to use the browser you installed the GlobalMojo app on as your primary browser. Any attempt by a user or organization to use a software piracy device that attempts to simulate active users will result in that individual or organizations account being deactivated. We identify active users based on feedback from our partners as well as our own security algorithm. As long as you are using GlobalMojo, you will remain an "active" user.

No spamming: GlobalMojo adheres strictly to our anti-spamming policy and forbids spamming. This applies to organizations/causes who are trying to find new supporters and individuals who are participating in the referral program. An organization/cause may only invite people with whom they already have a relationship. An individual user may only invite people that he or she explicitly knows and has a prior relationship. Violation of the policy will result in the termination of the organization or user's GlobalMojo account. For more information, see our Anti-Spam Policy.

• Nonprofit / Schools
How much will GlobalMojo cost my organization?

Zero. GlobalMojo is free for our users and free for all nonprofit organizations and schools who benefit from our technology. All of our revenue comes from Internet companies that pay to reach our users.

How does GlobalMojo generate revenue for my nonprofit or school?

All of our revenue comes from online companies who pay to reach our users. This is exactly the same way that most online companies generate revenue (Yahoo®, Google®, Expedia®, CNN, Amazon, Shopping.com®, etc). It works like this:

1. Online businesses need customers to stay in business.
2. Those businesses will pay third parties like GlobalMojo to help them reach new customers.

4. The GlobalMojo difference is that unlike most companies that keep 100% of that commission revenue, we donate 25% to 50% directly to nonprofits and schools chosen by our users.
5. Each Internet user is already generating this revenue, even if they are unaware of it.

What percentage of the revenue goes to my organization?

When the Globalmojo app is installed, 25% to 50% of the gross revenue earned is donated to the nonprofits and schools chosen by each user. The remaining profits are used to maintain cutting edge technology for our users, pay our staff, keep the lights on and maybe even turn a little profit at some point. We believe in a world where a commitment to corporate social responsibility and profitability don't have to be competing objectives. Profits are no fun if they’re made at the expense of people's health, happiness or well-being.

How much money can GlobalMojo generate for my nonprofit?

It depends on each individual’s searching and shopping habits. We conservatively estimate that a nonprofit should generate about $10-$30 per year for each supporter who uses GlobalMojo. For example, a school with 500 parents who use GlobalMojo could generate an additional $15,000 a year just from those parents’ regular web browsing. This amount will increase over time, as GlobalMojo optimizes relationships with our current partners (search, travel, shopping, advertising) and brings on new partners and services.

What kinds of nonprofits does GlobalMojo support?

GlobalMojo supports all U.S. based registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofits and schools. In order to be eligible, your organization or school must be a registered nonprofit with the IRS or the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). This includes charities, schools, hospitals, health clinics, churches and religious organizations, volunteer services, political organizations, professional associations, governmental organizations, veterans assistance associations, etc who are registered as a 501 (c)(3) through the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We currently work with U.S. registered nonprofits and ultimately will spread the Mojo globally.

We are currently working with the Canada Revenue Agency to add Canadian nonprofit organizations to our database. We also plan to add Canadian schools to our database shortly. Please check back with us soon.

Where does GlobalMojo get its list of nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, etc. that it supports?

GlobalMojo is pleased to offer over 1.5 million nonprofits and schools in our database provided by our partners, GuideStar and the National Center for Education Statistics. GuideStar is the industry leader in collecting information about nonprofit organizations, which it obtains through annual IRS tax filings and through its interaction with thousands of organizations every year.

With our comprehensive database and our strong partner alliances, you can feel confident that the school or nonprofit that you choose is a valid organization approved by the IRS.

How do we change our organization's address?

If you are a nonprofit, your organization’s information has been provided by GuideStar, which in turn obtained it through your annual IRS tax filing or through direct communication with your organization. If the address listed in our database is incorrect, update your information with GuideStar. Once you have registered and logged in as your organization's GuideStar contact, you will find instructions for updating your listing. Unfortunately, GlobalMojo cannot modify this information on your behalf.

If you are a school, your information has been provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). If you can't find your school in our database, please look for your school directly on the NCES website. If you can't find your school in the main NCES database, check their "new schools" locator You might need to contact your state CCD coordinator to submit new information to the NCES. Unfortunately, GlobalMojo cannot modify information in the NCES database on your behalf.

How can I add a nonprofit or school to the list of eligible causes?

If you have already searched for your nonprofit or school in our database and can’t find it, please email us and we will let you know when our "add new agency/school" process is in place. Thank you for your patience as we continue to build out our nonprofit services.

Do we have to pay anything to participate in GlobalMojo?

No. The GlobalMojo browser is free to everyone.

How does my cause invite our members to support us through GlobalMojo?

Please see our nonprofit services page for detailed instructions on inviting others to support your cause through GlobalMojo.

How do I see how much money we’ve raised?

Select the “Missions & Causes” tab and click on "Search All Causes" to find your organization. To see how much revenue is being generated for your organization and to see the number of your supporters, click "view details" link and scroll to the lower section of the page.

When will my cause receive money from GlobalMojo?

GlobalMojo sends out payments on a quarterly basis. When your users shop online, there is usually a 30 day return policy, so we will need to account for that timeframe when cutting checks to our partners. Once we have specific dates of payments solidified, we will post them here.

Can users choose to support more than just my cause?

Yes, GlobalMojo users can support up to four different nonprofits and schools at a time. You also determine what percentage of the revenue you generate goes to each cause. Then select your primary cause, and when you invite friends to support that cause and become GlobalMojo users, they will automatically become a supporter of your primary cause when they create their GlobalMojo profiles.

Are there any rules or restrictions?

We have only a few simple rules:

1. Only one GlobalMojo account per user: Each GlobalMojo user can sign up only once and create an account only for him or her self. A user or organization may not establish an account on behalf of anyone else. User accounts are not transferable and must be for a physical person.
2. Only active users count: To generate money for the cause(s), a user needs to be an "active" user. Simply put, a user needs to use the GlobalMojo app with their primary browser for surfing the web. Any attempt by a user or organization to use a software piracy device that attempts to simulate active users will result in that cause being deactivated. We identify active users based on feedback from our partners as well as our own security algorithm. Authentic GlobalMojo users will remain "active" in our system.
3. No spamming: GlobalMojo adheres strictly to our anti-spamming policy and forbids spamming. This applies to organizations/causes who are trying to find new supporters and individuals who are participating in the referral program. An organization/cause may only invite people with whom they already have a relationship. An individual user may only invite people that he or she explicitly knows and has a prior relationship. Violation of the policy will result in the termination of the organization or user's GlobalMojo account. For more information, see our Anti-Spam Policy

Is the support of GlobalMojo users tax deductible?

No, GlobalMojo users are not making donations to the cause or school, and therefore cannot take tax donations for their support.

Can GlobalMojo users make direct credit card donations to my charity?

We are still building this functionality and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready. When we go live with this function, you will be able to make direct cash donations to the charities of your choice directly from the GlobalMojo site.
